adding product images gives 500 error after upgrade too 3.0.11

[r_ekkie]

Working with vm 3.0.11 (that solved my add to cart issue in 3.0.10).

But when trying to add an image to a product or a category I get a 500error. server log says the following.:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function exif_imagetype() in /../administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/vmuploader.php on line 270

Any one any idea where this comes from?

Thanks

In the Joomla back-end, if you look into System > System Information > php Information, is EXIF support enabled? If not, it has to be enabled in the php.ini file.

[r_ekkie]

The whole EXIF isn't named in php information page

Probably you will have to contact your webhosting service and ask them to include it.

Running my own vps. But I'll contact my tech guy. Is this a chang within 3.0.11? all other sides running 3.0.10 don't have problems

I don't know, because all my installations (including a 3.0.11 test installation) are running on php compilations which include exif support and I didn't notice any other report with the same issue.

Hello r_ekkie,
I have the same problem!
Did you already solve this, if yes, how?
Best regards,

You may try in the vmuploader.php around line 270

EDIT: THIS IS OLD

Code Select Expand


if(function_exists('exif_imagetype')){
$type = exif_imagetype($media['tmp_name']);
} else if(vmAccess::manager('media.potdang')){
//Just small fallback
if($mediaExtension == 'jpg' or $mediaExtension == 'png' or $mediaExtension == 'gif'){
$type = $mediaExtension;
}
} else {
$type = false;
}


EDIT: Correct code here

Code Select Expand


if(function_exists('exif_imagetype')){
$type = exif_imagetype($media['tmp_name']);
} else {
$type = false;
}

Hi Milbo,
It is not clear to me if this code should be added or modified?
If modified, than the code is non existent in my vmuploader.php

vmError: Invalid media, image type does not fit to extension **.jpg

The code existing is in url /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers line 270 change

$type = exif_imagetype($media['tmp_name']);

to

Same problem here but virtuemart 3.0.12
After changing

Code Select Expand

$type = exif_imagetype($media['tmp_name']);
to

Code Select Expand

if(function_exists('exif_imagetype')){
$type = exif_imagetype($media['tmp_name']);
} else if(vmAccess::manager('media.potdang')){
$type = $mediaExtension;
} else {
$type = false;
}
i get error: vmError: Invalid media, image type does not fit to extension.

EXIF is not supported :S

i removed this part

Code Select Expand

if(!self::checkMediaType($type,$mediaExtension)){

vmError('Invalid media, image type does not fit to extension '.$media['name']);

return false;

}
and now its working.

Are you sure you are superadmin or have the right to upload potentially dangerous files?

[Reijo]

Superadmin and i have right to upload files. I tested my wampserver same settings when exif is on and when exif is off results is same.

Same problem here, how to fix this?
Before the update this all worked fine?
